Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) 1024.
· A Kilobyte (KB) is equal to 1024 Bytes in computing. This is because computers use a binary system, and in binary, 1024 (which is 210) is the closest power of two to 1000, which is why a Kilobyte is defined as 1024 Bytes.
· Although in general conversation or in marketing contexts, 1000 bytes are sometimes referred to as a Kilobyte, technically, in binary computation, it is 1024 Bytes. This base-2 system is used because computers operate on bits, which have two possible values (0 and 1).
Information Booster:
· 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes in binary computation.
· Computers use a binary numbering system, where 1024 is 210.
· The term 'Kilobyte' is sometimes used loosely in marketing for 1000 Bytes, but technically, it's 1024 Bytes.
· 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobytes, and 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabytes in binary.
· Data storage and memory in computing are measured using powers of 2.
· 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 megabytes
· 1 terabyte (TB) = 1024 gigabytes
· 1 petabyte (PB) = 1024 terabytes
